I increase the oomph from the hot sauce and the mustard seed beyond either of those, though, and I prefer white pepper to black. Another thing that I sometimes do, which I didn't note above, is to sprinkle the finished dish with nutmeg, which is very tasty. <BR/><BR/>This dish <I>is</I> tricky to reheat, but I find that if I'm willing to be patient, use a low power on the microwave with frequent stirrings (I mean - every 15 seconds on 40% power for an 1100 watt microwave) you can get a smooth re-melt that isn't granular or separated. Maybe it's the blue cheese that does it...Dawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06783668751520357959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608895.post-1142816538077563632006-03-19T17:02:00.000-08:002006-03-19T17:02:00.000-08:00Hey, I thought this was Alton Brown's recipe!!

I'm looking forward to hearing how your Rebar version goes. I haven't been to Rebar in over ten years, I think...<BR/><BR/>Hi Kickpleat - I know what you mean. I don't make this that often because it's pretty rich... but when you look at it, really, it's only 1.5 oz. cheese per person, which is about the amount you usually get on a sandwich, right? It just tastes deadly.Dawnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06783668751520357959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608895.post-1142715917819095892006-03-18T13:05:00.000-08:002006-03-18T13:05:00.000-08:00wow, that looks so good! i haven't had mac n' chee...wow, that looks so good! i haven't had mac n' cheese in a long time and maybe this weekend will be the time to make some. thanks for the inspiration!!kickpleathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08141375734982714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608895.post-1142704744175162622006-03-18T09:59:00.000-08:002006-03-18T09:59:00.000-08:00Not stalking you culinarily, but I had planned to ...Not stalking you culinarily, but I had planned to make Mac and Cheese for Sunday Dinner. This recipe looks good, but I am leaning towards the one in my (new) Rebar cookbook.lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04848240208381036824noreply@blogger.com
